Cookie Policy and Information on Cookie Processing

Cookies To ensure this website functions properly, we occasionally store small data files, called cookies, on your device. This is common practice on most major websites.

What are cookies? A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit. This file allows the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login name, language, font size, and other display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit or navigate between pages.

How do we use cookies? This website uses cookies to remember user settings, to better tailor ads to visitor interests, and to provide essential website functionality.

How to control cookies You can control or delete cookies as you wish. For details, please refer to aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies stored on your computer, and most browsers allow you to block cookies from being stored altogether. However, doing so may require you to manually adjust some settings every time you visit the website, and some services and features may not function.

How to decline the use of cookies You can configure cookie settings through the website or your internet browser.

Types of cookies we use:

Session Cookies These cookies are used, for example, to identify a user during login. Without these cookies, certain services may not work at all, or their functionality may be limited. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent Cookies Persistent cookies remain stored in your browser for a longer period (the longest-lasting cookie remains valid for a maximum of 2 years from the last visit), even after you turn off your computer. These cookies improve user convenience when using online services and may be used for statistical or advertising purposes. They may contain an anonymous identifier for your browser.

Persistent cookies do not identify you as an individual; they only identify access to the site and user behavior from a particular device (computer, tablet, smartphone). All data remains anonymous.

Our website primarily collects the following persistent cookies:

Analytical Cookies These cookies primarily relate to visits, traffic sources, performance metrics, statistics, or analytics. Analytical cookies recognize repeated visits to our website from the same browser on the same device and track visitor activity as they browse.

These cookies allow us to recognize and count visitors and data traffic sources so we can measure and improve the website’s performance. They help us understand if you encounter any issues or error messages on certain pages and identify the most and least popular pages and how visitors move through the site. This helps us tailor and improve the website, making navigation more intuitive and enhancing the overall online experience.

Analytical/performance cookies are not deleted when the browser is closed and are therefore permanently stored on your computer or device.

Technical Cookie to Track User Consent

These cookies are used to track your consent for the use of tracking (advertising) cookies.

Technical cookies are not deleted when the browser is closed and are therefore permanently stored on your computer or device.

Session Cookies vs. Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted once the browser is closed, while persistent cookies are long-lasting as they are stored on your computer. Persistent cookies are not deleted when the browser is closed and are used, for example, to remember your preferences for your next visit.

First-Party Cookies vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you’re visiting and can only be read by that site.

Third-party cookies are set by someone other than the website owner with the website owner's consent. These cookies are used to collect specific information and conduct various studies on behavior, demographics, etc.
